During the past year the plans for the
new water works supply from the Merritt
land" rs adopted by this board and ap-
proved by city council have been carried out
and the work completed, and the new syS-
TEN is now in operation ss far as permitted
under the recent decision of the court in
the injunction suit. allowing us to draw
from the basin not 10 exceed 500. 900 gal
Ions per day, which is about one third our
supply. The supply basin as now com
pleted by the contractors Ryan l. Spell
lacy, has realized our most ssngune eNpec-
tatonS. and is now filled to the top with
beautifully clear and fine spring water.
T le ma aximum hOw:0f water into this basin
cannot at this time be definitely stated, but
from the data obtained from the pumping
done by the contractors. during the work
of excavating. and taking as guide the
manufacturers estimated capacity of the
pump used. it has been yariously estimated
al from seven 10 ten millions Of gallons in
twenty-fOur hours.
The pipe connecting the basin with the
pump is 20 inches in diameter and has n
maximum flowing capacity of four millions
of gallons in tWenty-fOur hours. This is
nearly three times the quantity now con-
sumed by the city, daily, and undoubtedly
could be largely increased by adding the
suction;of the pumps. il necessary.
